50 Cent, cuyo nombre de nacimiento es Curtis James Jackson III, nació el 6 de julio de 1975 en el barrio de South Jamaica, Queens, Nueva York. Criado por su madre, Sabrina, quien fue traficante de drogas, 50 Cent enfrentó múltiples dificultades desde una temprana edad. Su madre murió cuando él tenía apenas ocho años, dejando a Curtis bajo el cuidado de sus abuelos.
Durante su adolescencia, Jackson cayó en el tráfico de drogas y tuvo numerosos problemas con la ley. Sin embargo, desde joven mostró interés en la música, escribiendo y componiendo sus propios temas.
El camino hacia el estrellato no fue fácil. 50 Cent comenzó su carrera musical en los últimos años de la década de 1990, grabando su primer álbum Power of the Dollar en 2000 para Columbia Records. Sin embargo, el álbum nunca fue lanzado oficialmente debido a un incidente que cambió su vida: 50 Cent recibió nueve disparos en un tiroteo en mayo de 2000. Milagrosamente, sobrevivió y decidió centrarse completamente en su carrera musical.
Tras recuperarse, 50 Cent llamó la atención de Eminem, quien quedó impresionado por su mixtape Guess Who's Back?. Eminem lo presentó a Dr. Dre, y juntos decidieron firmarlo bajo sus sellos discográficos, Shady Records y Aftermath Entertainment.
En 2003, lanzó su álbum debut Get Rich or Die Tryin', el cual fue un éxito

I'm Gonna Be Alright
I'm Gonna Be Alright (50 Cent Remix)"
(feat. 50 Cent)
[J. Lo]
Oh Yes!
[50 Cent]
I wanna be the reason you smile after you wipe your tears,
The reason you have the courage to confront your fears,
The reason there’s two carrots in each of your ears,
I spurge with the paper ma, I don't care,
How ya like the pumps, boots, jeeps, and coops
Make celebrities, 50 fall off never,
What’s, mine is yours and what’s yours is mine,
So when I shine, you shine.
C’mon the finest Champaign we can toast to life,
Crab table in Vegas you can toss the dice,
Don't let your friends get ya confused, said 50 bad news,
I need ya in my life girl your too much to loose.
[J. Lo]
It’s funny cause, for a while,
I walked around with a smile but,
Deep inside, I could hear, voices telling me this ain't right.
Don’t you know, it’s not for you,
I always knew what I had to do.
But it’s hard, to get away,
Because I love you I just tried to stay.
[Chorus]
I used to say I couldn’t do it but I did it,
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it,
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I’ma be alright.
I used to say I couldn’t do it but I did it,
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it,
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And that voice inside says I’m gonna be alright.
[J. Lo]
Friends of mine, say to me,
They say you got control over me.
You’re not alone, I played my part,
I saw the way you were from the start.
Could I expect, so much from you,
You had a girl when I first met you.
Did the best that you could do
Now I realize I can't change you
[Chorus]
I used to say I couldn’t do it but I did it,
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it,
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I’ma be alright.
I used to say I couldn’t do it but I did it,
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it,
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And that voice inside says I’m gonna be alright.
[J. Lo]
Said I wouldn't walk away,
Some days I want to stay,
But leaving you is what I need to do to be okay.
Never thought it would be true,
Me livin' without you,
But now it's time for me to make that move.
[50 Cent]
Now when I tell ya what my wishes are you don't respect it,
When I smile at ya you don't smile back to reconnect it.
You ain't been gone long but, I already miss you,
I need you next to me so I can hug you and kiss you.
All the talkin on the phone, all the time we share,
How could you fix your mouth to say, “I don't care”
I had plans for us, to buy ice together,
Engagement rings, and things and share life together,
Now when your friends tell ya 50 called, you’re like whatever.
Do you think we were wrong for each other from the start,
Or was it my actions that made us fall apart.
Just want you to know you’ll always have a place in my heart.
[Chorus]
I used to say I couldn’t do it but I did it,
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it,
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I’ma be alright.
I used to say I couldn’t do it but I did it,
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it,
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And that voice inside says I’m gonna be alright.
Oh no, be alright
Oh no, says I’m gonna be alright
[Chorus]
I used to say I couldn’t do it but I did it,
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it,
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I’ma be alright.
I used to say I couldn’t do it but I did it,
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it,
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And that voice inside says I’m gonna be alright.
